Lawsuit May Delay Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover: Here's What You Need To Know
A Florida-based pension fund is challenging Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk's potential $44 billion Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) takeover.
一家總部位於佛羅裏達的養老基金正面臨挑戰特斯拉公司(納斯達克代碼:TSLA)首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克可能以440億美元收購Twitter Inc.(紐約證券交易所代碼：TWTR)。
According to a report, a complaint has been filed by the Orlando Police Pension Fund in Delaware Chancery Court says that under Delaware law, Musk cannot complete the takeover until at least 2025 unless holders of two-thirds of shares not "owned" by him approve the deal.
據報道，奧蘭多警察養老基金在特拉華州衡平法院提起的一項申訴稱，根據特拉華州法律，馬斯克至少要到2025年才能完成收購，除非非他所擁有的三分之二股份的持有者批准這筆交易。

The law prohibits the purchase because Musk had agreements with other significant Twitter shareholders to support the buyout, including Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, according to the fund.
法律禁止這筆收購，因為馬斯克與Twitter的其他重要股東達成了支持收購的協議，包括摩根士丹利(紐約證券交易所股票代碼：MS)和Twitter創始人傑克·多爾西，根據該基金的説法。
The complaint says Musk's arrangements made him an "interested shareholder" who must wait three years to wrap up the deal or win the support of investors who control "at least 66 2/3% of Twitter's outstanding voting stock" and were independent of Musk.
起訴書稱，馬斯克的安排使他成為一個“感興趣的股東”，他必須等待三年才能完成交易，或者贏得投資者的支持，這些投資者控制着“至少662/3%的推特已發行有表決權的股票”，並且獨立於馬斯克。
Last week, Musk told investors that he plans to return Twitter to public ownership in as little as three years after completing the takeover.
上週，馬斯克告訴投資者，他計劃在完成收購後短短三年內將Twitter重新公有。
Last month, a group of Twitter shareholders sued Musk, claiming that he failed to disclose his 9.2 percent stake in the company in the proper timeframe.
上個月，Twitter的一羣股東起訴馬斯克，稱他未能在適當的時間框架內披露他在該公司9.2%的股份。
